'You vengeful b*tches!' Nicole Kidman, Colin Farrell, Elle Fanning and Kirsten Dunst star in fiery trailer for Sofia Coppola's The Beguiled remake
Bodice-ripping passion and tempestuous drama reign in a new trailer for The Beguiled, the eighth film Sofia Coppola's directed.
Remade from the 1971 Clint Eastwood drama, which in turn is based on Thomas P. Cullinan's 1966 novel A Painted Devil, the film takes place during America's Civil War.
When Colin Farrell's injured Union soldier winds up in a southern all-girl boarding school run by Nicole Kidman's headmistress, all their lives are upended.

Star turn: Nicole Kidman plays a southern boarding school headmistress during America's Civil War in The Beguiled, a new trailer for which dropped Wednesday
To ominous music, Oona Laurence's Amy, a little girl at the school, stumbles onto the Farrell character, John McBurney, who lies vulnerable in the woods.
Martha and a group of the women at the sprawling mansion where the school's located are seen carrying him into the building.
'Girls, we all need to help,' the headmistress orders, and as they lift him from the grass, she says: 'Quickly! He's losing blood!

When he's brought back to the school, Kirsten Dunst's teacher character Edwina prays: 'I pray that the Lord see fit to restore the health of the wounded soldier.'
Martha can be seen washing John as he lays shirtless in bed, then saying over the Bible: 'We ask for your protection over our school, and we pray that we will be kept from harm throughout the night.'
Multiple occupants of the boarding school - including Martha, Edwina and a student called Carol played by Elle Fanning - begin to fall for John.

Edwina stares through a lace-draped window, infatuated, as the Yankee warrior spends time on the lawn in front of the boarding school.
'If you could have anything in the world, what would it be?' he asks her as he lies in bed and she sits beside him, clasping his hand.
'To be taken far away from here,' she says - but though it appears a romance may have stirred between them, Carol gets involved.

'Can I get you anything?' she says alluringly to him as he lies in bed, in a scene juxtaposed to Martha discussing the arrival with the other girls and women.
'Corporal McBurney's stay here's taught us all a very important lesson,' she says softly. 'The enemy is not what we believe.'
When Edwina creeps into John's room at night to see him kissing Carol, she gasps, and the trailer erupts into chaos.

Flashes show such events as John tearing open Edwina's bodice as they lie on the floor, a chandelier crashing to the floor, a gun being retrieved, and the wounded soldier himself tumbling down the stairs.
Near the end, the women can be seen seated calmly at a table as John - from behind the camera - screams: 'What have you done to me? You vengeful b****es!'
Directed by Don Siegel, the 1971 film starred Eastwood as John McBurney, Geraldine Page as Martha, Elizabeth Hartman as Edwina, Jo Ann Harris as Carol and Pamelyn Ferdin as Amy.
The new version, which Coppola's also written and helped produce, will be out June 23 in Britain and June 30 in America.
